EZBAI ():

By: Emil G. Hirsch, M. Seligsohn

Father of Naarai, one of David's thirty mighty warriors (I Chron. xi. 37). The parallel list of II Samuel has "Paarai the Arbite" (xxiii. 35) instead of "Naarai the son of Ezbai." Kennicott concluded ("Dissertation," p. 209) that the latter is the correct reading.
